Arsenal banter 66220

Think we all love a player that genuinely loves the club rather than just kisses the badge right?
So IMO Sanchez and his crazy wage demands can just leave preferably abroad. Use the money wisely, replace properly. TBH who thought Sanchez was the player is when he was at on Barcelona's bench?
Credit is due to AW there BTW.

I've been supporting Arsenal since the 70's and have seen some dross in my time, some good times too (most of them under AW as manager) although the '79 cup final is still one of my highlights :)
My point is, support the team and provide positive vibes not bullshit moaning like you deserve to be watching ballet every week.

So, back to Sanchez. If you wanna moan and be a prick, best you do one IMO.
For me NO-ONE is irreplaceable, we are Arsenal!
The best players are the ones who want to play for the club. Bergkamp, Henry, Brady, even Scyescny!

If we take a good positive squad into the new season with good support behind the team like back at Highbury we can push for the league. If the fans get on the teams and AW back then it can all go to shit. Do we really need Sanchez being a dick, as good a footballer as he is?!

Didn't Henry go to Barcelona? Just saying.
Arsenals ambition hasn't matched Sanchez ambition during his time with the club but still he's been head and shoulders our best player since he arrived, do we really need to part as enemy's? Rather than with mutual respect?

{Ed001's Note - Sanchez does no such thing mate. He does not want to be the centre of attention at all. What he wants is to win trophies, the big trophies, not the 4th place trophy. He wants to be in it to win it, not make up the numbers like Arsenal do in the Champions League. It is frustration at having a bunch of also rans around him, who don't care whether they win or lose. It is the rest that crave the attention, that is why they waste so much time on social media with their idiotic videos, trying to get themselves lots of 'followers' to tell them how great they are. Sanchez doesn't want to be told he is great, he wants to prove he is great, that is the difference.

He should be the player you built around. The winner. The driving force and the best player you have. Instead you will have Danny Bambi on ice Welbeck leading the way to midtable mediocrity, because he is a nice guy who doesn't complain about losing. People like Wilshere will be the hero because he is local, though crap, and will tell people what they want to hear.}

Nice one 01. Well said mate.
For me Sanchez has been carrying the team since he's been there. He works tirelessly on the pitch with little or no equivalent talent around him.

I've said it since Sanchez arrived at Arsenal for what we paid it was a steal! nothing short of that. Arsenal messed up big time last season we should have been clearing out the crap this time last season and built a great team round him. Now that the crap has hit the fan we can't seem to try and spend some money quick enough. Too little too late! .
Seriously! Just step back and take a look at what he has to play with? I'm going to stick my neck out and even say Ozil what's the big fuss about him? . How many times have I seen the opposition go pass him and their he is strolling around and can't seem to be bothered to run 2 yards to fight for the ball. Let me say this Ozil ain't no big deal! . But the frightening thing is the rest are even worse . Welbeck. Ramsey, Walcott, that joker Wilshire, Iwobi, Need I go on? and do you know what? If the aux wanted to leave I wouldn't blame him either at least you can see a bit of fight in him in the last 2 seasons. Arsenal are not looking for a replacement for Sanchez we've all said it by now they know as well as we do top genuine players want to be in the Champions League. So unless we are going to pay ridiculous wages we haven't got a cat in hells chance.
Mbappe! don't make me laugh .

{Ed001's Note - it just feels like there is no ambition there. The club were happy just to get him, rather than using him as a catalyst to go for trophies.}

Ed01. More like to keep the supporters happy. What is it with Arsenal? Are we only capable of buying one decent player at a time. ? . To be fair when you look at things it's a wonder we have finished in the top 4 as many times as we have. It's either by shear luck or the other teams being poorer than what we imagined.

{Ed001's Note - that is why so many say be careful what you wish for with regards to Wenger, as many believe he has been the one keeping you in the top four.}

22 Jul 2017 07:30:12
While I'm on a roll . I've read and heard that teams that are supposedly interested in Mbappe wouldn't necessarily make him a regular guaranteed starter in their squad!
Errrrrr who's going to pay near on 100 million pound plus and leave the guy as a sub? . He ain't no classic car where you lay out heaps of money then lock it away in a vacuum and wait for the value to go up.

{Ed001's Note - he is that good that I am not sure any team is that good he would not get in the team.}

Totally agree Ed001, before Sanchez joined us he would have met Arsene and during that meeting Sanchez will have told the club his hunger and ambition to win titles and champions league medals and in return Arsene will have said the club match his hunger and ambition 100%,
Sanchez has kept his side of the bargain and could not have done more on his own to make those ambitions a reality, it's the club who haven't matched Alexis undoubted hunger and determination.
There is absolutely no need for this character assassination of Alexis Sanchez just because he wants to challenge for top honours.
Let's be better fans and bigger people than to turn on a player who has given everything to our club for 3 seasons and who we will make a profit on when we sell him.
Let's thank the man for 3 brilliant years service and set about replacing him the best we can, it's the grown up intelligent dignified thing to do.

{Ed001's Note - I just don't understand how anyone can criticise Sanchez for wanting to win and call it a bad attitude. If you are 5-0 up and he is on the pitch and whining, then he has a bad attitude. However, when he is digging out his teammates as you are playing poorly and losing, that is will to win, not a bad attitude. That is him trying to get more from those around him. I can remember the likes of Tony Adams constantly screaming at their teammates when their team was not doing well. It is what you need more of not less.}
